FM1803-2 Furlmatic Windcharger Are you living off grid? Do you need power at a remote site? Take advantage of the abundant power of the wind to generate your own free power using the Rutland FM1803-2 Furlmatic Windcharger. The FM1803-2 needs only a light breeze to start generating power for charging batteries so you have the convenience of energy stored for whenever you need it. Typically the 12V or 24V battery power can be used for: • Low energy lighting • Pumps • Refrigerators • Telecommunications equipment • Computers & TV’s • 230V appliances can be operated through an inverter FM1803-2 model 3 blade design with MPC1 controller inset Living off grid Where grid power is not available the FM1803-2 provides a cost effective solution, charging batteries to deliver 12/24V power which can also be inverted to 230V AC. The FM1803-2 can deliver sufficient power for most daily needs with only occasional use of a generator for high energy consuming appliances, e.g. domestic washing machine. Where a generator is already used the FM1803-2 will soon reduce energy costs and pay for itself in convenience. Direct fuel costs and engine wear and running time will be noticeably reduced. Power at Remote and Inaccessible Sites Professionals providing services such as telecommunications and monitoring at remote locations will find using wind power immediately cost effective and long term convenient. Site visits to change batteries will be reduced and battery life extended. A clean source of energy and it saves you money! • Rutland Windchargers are an environmentally friendly way of generating power • Battery life is extended as the continuous charging reduces the number of deep discharge cycles. • Where generators are in use running and maintenance costs will be reduced. Typical Applications Marlec’s FM1800 and FM1803 models have been used worldwide since 1989 in a variety of applications, eg: • Remote homes • Rural Clinics • Scientific & Military Field Applications • Telecommunications sites • Portable power for travelling shows MPC1 Electronic controller with digital display (shown) is included.
